After coming back from the dead on Sunday, Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is insisting he's playing Week Two. Rodgers left the game in the first quarter after injuring his knee. He was carted off, and I proceeded to scream bloody murder for a total of ten minutes. Rodgers came back into the game shortly after, be he wasn't quite the same. He couldn't plant his leg, wasn't as agile or mobile, but still got the job done and came back to beat the Chicago Bears. I thought Khalil Mack would finish him and he'd be done for like in Mortal Kombat, but it happened the other way around.

​Knowing he would be asked the question, Rodgers said straight up, "I'm playing next week." That may not be up to him, but I wouldn't try to tell him any different.

buzz-worthy:

Story still developing as I'm writing this, but Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford may have just died. Will update. He's thrown four picks so far and has been hurt twice. Not great! UPDATE: Yep, dead

RELATED: New York Jets QB Sam Darnold's first pass in the NFL was a pick six, and but since then, he's been fantastic. That felt good to get off my chest. Darnold finished with 198 yards, two touchdowns, one pick and a rating of 116.8. Not bad for a rookie.

For some reason, the Buffalo Bills may be starting QB Nathan Petermanagain, even though Josh Allen was significantly better on Sunday. The only good thing about Buffalo remains buffalo wings. Scientific fact.

Tampa Bay Bucs WR DeSean Jackson had a good start to the season this year with two touchdowns on Sunday. Of course he does this all while he's on my fantasy bench.

Cincinnati Bengals WR AJ Green has some encouraging words for teammate Joe Mixon: “You mention him with Le’Veon or Gurley. He’s there with those guys.”

In the funniest news of all time, Breshad Perriman​ is working out for the Philadelphia Eagles this week, after not catching on with the Bills, Giants or Jets. Maybe himself and Mike Wallace can drop passes together on another team! Yay!

Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden says Khalil Mack "didn't want to play here." Uhhhh, obviously? I wonder why? "He was under contract. He never showed up for an OTA, never showed up for a training camp and it was obvious he wasn’t going to show up for the season. Don’t forget that." We won't Jon.

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette has minor hamstring injury, according to coach Doug Marrone. He limped off during Sunday's game (Fournette, not Marrone) and it's unclear if he'll play next week.

New England Patriots RB Jeremy Hill is done for the year with a torn ACL. Hill signed with the Pats this offseason after four years underachieving with the Bengals.
